Fico says M5S no longer exists in Quarto (2)

Bigwig confirms councillors backing Capuozzo expelled

14 Gennaio 2016

Rome, January 14 - Roberto Fico, a leading member
of the 5-Star Movement (M5S), said Thursday that the
anti-establishment group is no longer present in Quarto,
confirming that councillors backing Mayor Rosa Capuozzo were no
longer considered part of it.
Capuozzo, elected as an M5S candidate, was expelled after
ignoring calls from the movement for her to resign as mayor of
the town near Naples amid a probe into allegations the council
has been hit by mafia infiltration.
"The M5S is no longer in Quarto to all extends and
purposes," Fico said when asked if the councillors have been
expelled.
"They have not yet received the (expulsion) mail, but what
counts is the fact that it is no longer a 5-Star
administration".
